The teaching staff imparting training is mostly comprised of research doctors from the Institute of Food Technology (INTEA). This teaching staff has extensive educational and research experience, and they form part of the three groups of research at the INTEA: Plant Pathology, Biotechnology of Animal and Human Reproduction and Food Technology.
Some of the Master's degree's subjects offer talks and seminars given by renowned researchers and professionals working at other universities, research centres and companies in the sector and who contribute an applied vision of research and biotechnology, thereby improving student training for future job placements. These speakers come from the agri-food sector, from the Institute of Agri-Food Research and Technology (IRTA), the Health-Protection Agency at the Catalan government’s Department of Health and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), among other places.
The master's degree often features talks from renowned international researchers who contribute valuable information on the cutting-edge research in this field being carried out in other countries and help to improve the students’ overall education.
